I watched Dredd 3d in Cardiff Vue cinema yesterday in Wales U.K , and i was one very happy art droid, to my mind it's THE best comic book adaption i've seen .Karl Urban nailed it as Dredd Eastwood voice and all, Olivia Thirlby was perfect as Anderson.Karl's version of Joe with the close up's reminded me of John M Burns version and Anderson reminded me of Arthur Ransom's version from the pages of 2000AD.i had my doubts on

the trailer for Mega City 1 but once the film rolled it made sense to make the city look grim, gritty, crumbling and totally realistic it added why the drug slo-mo was so popular with the citizens a escape from the hard dark reality living in a hell hole.

a big thanks to the film company for the thank you at the end credits for all the creatives who have worked on Dredd in the comics 2000AD and Judge Dredd Megazine, a nice touch also great to see the creators of Dredd John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra have a big end creditat the end of the film.( carlos must have been happy with this movie)

so far it's had 100 % rating from the critics and 81% rating from joe public

so fingers crossed when it hits the states it will get the numbers for a sequel.

When I was away on my hols to the wonderful Islands of Malta and Gozo, I saw online that Alan Martin was looking for a new Tank Girl artist! , i've always liked her crazy balls to the wall stories ,I guess I have missed the boat but I drew these for fun with no reference just by my memory, so enjoy how I would draw her and Booga .

Hi guys and gals, i've just joined deviantART in the hope it will spread my name and work out there to Editors and Publishers, This year has been very difficult trying to get work, i guess the recession and tightened belts hasn't helped.

Alas Age of Heroes has been put to grass before it got off the ground , my business partner who was going to produce merchandise based on my characters and designs decided to back out and that has left me now with a concept world, 41 illustrations a comicstrip script (by Alan Grant) and a poster to find a home the concept is called THE SAGA OF ZORAN an all ages fantasy adventure.

I had the pleasure last year to attend the Malta comic con in Valletta , i was there as a guest you can read all about the convention and Tim's book launch on his excellent blog Malta comic con part 1 there are 4 parts to this mini saga write up ,but worth reading , Tim Perkins is a rare breed yes he's my friend , we first met many years ago at a convention and as Tim put's it we are ''a kindred spirit''.

Tim has a passion for life and comic storytelling and art for all ages which i have enjoyed sharing with him over the many years i've known him, he told me i would enjoy myself in Malta and i did so much in fact i plan to return there soon for a visit .

Now on to Tim's first book of Worlds end vol 1 The Riders on the Storm!
Tim worked on this project on and off for 7 yrs , his vision and passion was to produce a new saga that would appeal to all ages and be exciting and fun , i can say Tim achieved his goal , i enjoyed the book alot, top production of print and binding by Print Media Productions Ltd, wonderful visuals , maps, end papers,behind the scenes features, great designs , a fast paced comic strip story (which made me itching to read book 2) what's the story? read Lew Stringers excellent review
If you love fantasy/ sci-fi , good ol adventure with a dash of humour, stories you can read with your children then i highly recommend Tim's book .

you can buy Tim's fab production from his website http://www.wizards-keep.com
go on meet Gweldar, Geek and Zephol you'll enjoy the adventure.

Sorry the blog has had so many passing of great talent reported , that's the problem getting older the people that mean something to me are getting older too and in some cases dying before their time.

Any way on a happier note Tales of the Buddha before he got Enlightened has now a fan page on Facebook Tales Of The Buddha

I'm drawing a new adventure where Buddha helps out Santa which will be a 5 pager story again Alan Grant has written another very funny tale.
The Ebook collection of Buddha should be out next month by Renegade Arts Ent will keep you posted when it's out .

Another comic book legend passed away recently Tony Dezuniga Jonah Hex artistic creator , I grew up loving Tony's work on Savage Sword of Conan by Marvel , he drew the most beautiful women and had such a fantastic style, my brother would buy lots of b/w mags in the 70's and i got used to spotting certain artists styles i always enjoyed Tony's work, thanks for the entertainment sir and God bless.

When i was a teenager many many years ago i would read my comics playing music on the radio or tape recorder , i loved Donna Summer's music , her look, i really thought she was ''HOT STUFF'' the times my friends and i would disco dance to her music and enjoy the beat , such fun and energy back then happy care free days .
so sad to read this week that both Donna and Ernie both have passed away to cancer , my thoughts go out to their family and friends.
Ernie Chan was a brilliant inker, painter and artist his work on Conan, the Incredible Hulk, Batman shows how great he was, my brother used to collect Savage Sword of Conan , and Conan the Barbarian and King Kull which regularly had Ernie's stamp on them , he had a fantastic inking style and he worked really well with the masterful John Buscema .
I would spend hours looking and reading those wonderful comics dreaming of far off places.
Donna and Ernie thanks for the entertainment and for being part of my life growing up.
God bless

A while back i was asked by my friend Steve Pugh if i would help him on a short story for Self Made Hero books the story was H.P Lovecraft's Pickman's model
for THE LOVECRAFT ANTHOLOGY VOL 2
Steve needed to keep to his deadlines with HOTWIRE for Radical Comics, i said a big yes! as it was a chance to work with Steve, you see I'm a big fan of Steve's work on SHARKMAN and HOTWIRE.
Steve asked me to draw character designs and layouts based on Jamie Delano's script , i enjoyed this as well as i had never worked with Mr Delano just read his work over the years so this was a challenge.
Steve ok'd things with the Editor Dan Lockwood and we had lift off .

So here's my character designs and page layouts 10 pages altogether although in the printed version there are 11 pages , Steve managed to still use my layouts as a guide to tweak the extra page .
It was decided in the end not to show the monster's whole image like the old Hammer films , you use your imagination to see the true horror.

i have just bought a copy of the book and must say it's a great package so very proud to have helped out, the book is available to buy from comic shops, book shops and amazon.co.uk/Lovecraft-Anthology-II
